BIFT OF THE KAISER BRONZE STATUE OF FREDERICK THE GREAT UNVEILED AT WASHINGTON. GHEIT_ MILITARY AND OFFICIAL EVENT PRESIDENT, GERMAN AMBASSA- DOR AND OTHERS DELIVER ADDRESSES. ‘Washington, Nov. 21.—Hailed by a military blare of twenty trumpets the bronze statue of kr: ’ i the Great, presented to the Am._" an people by Emperor William, was unveiled during the afternoon by the Baroness Speck von Sternburg, the wife of the Ger- man ambassador. The ceremony was marked by great military and official display. The statue was presented on behalf of the emperor by his personal envoy, the German ambassador, who made a brief address. The president made the chief address of the day and accepted the gift on behalf of the American people, Remarks were made by Lieutenant General Chaffee, chief of staff; Major General Gillespie of the general staff, master of ceremo- nies; Lieutenant General von Lowen- feld, one of the special commissioners sent to the unveiling by 'the emperor, and Charlemagne Tower, American ambassador to Germany. Seldom has the national capital wit- messed a more brilliant and distin- guished assemblage than was gather- ed on the grand esplanade of the army war college around the pedestal of the statue. Immediately back of the sta- tue on the president’s stand, which was completely covered in red, white and blue bunting and decorated with American flags, sat the president and his cabinet, the German ambassador and the Baroness Speck von Stern- burg, Lieutenant General von Lowen- feld and Major Count von Schmettow, the emperor’s special commissioners to the unveiling, and the entire diplo- matic corps, all in full uniform. On stands to the right and left of the statue were officers of the army and navy in full dress uniform, the mem- bers of the supreme court, members of congress and other invited guests. Directly in front of the pedestal of the statue were grouped the members of the German societies from various parts of the country. ‘Within the gates of the army ‘war college along the line of march to the esplanade were statloned the troops in attendance. Batteries Render Honors. Two batteries of field artillery were stationed in the south battery of the post and upon the arrival at the gates of the several groups the prescribed honors were rendered. The official programme began with the invocation by the Rt. Rev. Dr. Satterlee, bishop of Washington. Ma- jor General Gillespie, the presiding officer of the day, then delivered an address. As he closed his address Major Gen- eral Gillespie turned to the ambassa- dress and, offering her his arm, es- corted her to the edge of the statue ‘where were fastened the silken cords attached to the American and German flags In which it was shrouded. Grip- ping the cords firmly, one in each band, the ambassadress had but to" give one tug before the silken folds loosened from around the figure of Frederick the Great. Straightway twenty trumpeters of the army drawn up in front of the president’s stand sounded a military blare of welcome— one prolonged note—and as the flags slowly parted, the American to the right the German to the left, the Ma- rine band struck up the German na- tional anthem. Lieutenant General von Lowenfeld was then presented by the master of ceremonies and, as the special com- missioner of the German emperor, transferred the statue to the custody of his majesty’s personal envoy, Baron Sternburg, the German ambassador. Baron Sternburg was introduced by Major General Gillespie and accepting the custody of the statue from the commissioners, formally presented the gift, on behalf of the emperor, to the American people, through their pres- ident, in a brief speech. After the president delivered his response the assemblage arose and with uncovered heads remeined standing through the playing oi ‘“America” by the Marine band. Speeches followed by General Chaffee and Ambassador Tower and the ceremonies closed with benedlc- tion by Rev. Paul A. Menzel, pastor of Concordia Lutheran church. BREAK IN WHEAT PRICES. Market Shows the Effect of Various Reports. Chicago, Nov. “21.—Under heavy liguidation wheat prices here broke over 2 cents a bushel. The market was affected by the comparatively weak tone of foreign grain markets and by reports from Argentina claim- ing a bumper crop under way. The decline was apparently started by lib- eral profit taking on the part of sev- eral large holders. On the break many stop loss orders were reported and the result was additional weakness. ‘The market closed practically at the low- est point of the day. Final quotations on December were down 2% cents, at $1.08%. May closed at $1.091%, a loss of 2% cents. MERGER OF VELEVATED ROADS. {Plan to Consolidate Chicago Lines Agreed On.

HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM BY PRESIDENT LATTER WISHES TO RETAIN THE RETIRING STATESMAN IN PUBLIC SERVICE. ‘Washington, Nov, 21.—While no an- nouncement yet has been made re- garding the pregident’s possible ac- tion in the selection of a man to suc- ceed Colonel Frank J. Hecker on the Isthmian canal commission it is known that he is considering seriously the appointment of Senator Francis M. Cockrell of Missouri t> the vacancy.

The president holds Senator Cockrell in high es- teem, personally amd officially, and feels that the services of a man of his character and ability should not be lost to the government if the senator should desire to continue in active public work. If the senator should conclude that he does not care to un- dertake the work of the canal com- mission it is certain that the presi- dent will give him some congenial Dosition - befitting his character and services.
